Lavandula angustifolia is one of the earlier flowering English lavenders, this beauty blooms from June to September. English lavenders tend to be the hardiest of all and are considered to have the best scent (they are indeed the most used type for oil production). Despite the name, these lavenders are not actually native to England but to the mountainous areas of the Mediterranean. They were first brought to the UK in the 17th century. It is thought the misnomer arose from a connection with English royalty, who favoured the herb for medicinal and culinary use.Lavandula angustifolia 'Arctic Snow' produces long, densely packed spikes of pure white flowers, from compact mounds of grey-green leaves. Perfect for brightening the front of a border, path edging, container displays or for use as a low hedge. Plants prefer well-draining soil in full sun (think of those Mediterranean mountain origins). H&S: 50cm. Hardy evergreen perennial.
